The Classical Guitar Program

The Conservatory’s Guitar Program is beginning anew with Fred Hand as its chairperson. Mr. Hand promises it to be a dynamic program, offering the student the very best in guitar pedagogy. In addition to weekly lessons, performance seminar, and chamber music coachings, there are guest master classes. The Conservatory offers a fully-equipped recording studio in which students can record their own CDs. Students have the benefit of performing regularly in the Conservatory’s wonderful recital hall in which several excellent classical guitar CDs have been recorded. In addition to school-based performance, students perform outreach concerts in the community as well.

In addition to The Performing Arts Center on campus, opportunities abound in nearby New York City to hear professional recitals. Students can also hear internationally accomplished soloists at the Connecticut Classical Guitar Society concerts in Hartford, CT, and participate in its master classes.

All instruction will be given by world-renowned performer and pedagogue Fred Hand. For more information, visit the main Music Faculty page.
